Makeup for drooping eyelids

Heavy eyelids, drooping eyelids, or "hooded eyes" are often the result of aging. The thin skin over your eyes loses its elasticity and often falls down onto your eyelashes, making your eyelids barely visible, if at all. Droopy eyelids often develop around the age of 40. But it's also possible you have a genetic predisposition. Droopy eyelids are then the natural shape of your eyes.

Applying your eye makeup can be quite a challenge if you have drooping eyelids. Eyeshadow disappears into the crease, and mascara can rub off on your lids. However, there's a lot you can do with makeup to achieve a fresh, awake look. So: get started!
